AQVC107-B1-A

Overview

The AQVC107-B1-A is a quad-port Ethernet controller manufactured by Aquantia Corp, designed for high-speed network connectivity. It supports multiple Ethernet speeds including 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M base-T standards. The device integrates IEEE 802.3 compliant interfaces and utilizes an FCBGA package with dimensions of 12x14. As part of the AQC107 series, it functions as a physical layer transceiver controller optimized for multi-port switch platforms and server applications requiring low power consumption per port.

Feature Summary

• Supports quad-port 10BASE-T Ethernet connectivity
• Integrates multi-rate PHY capabilities for flexible speed negotiation
• Optimized for low power consumption in multi-port configurations

Applications

• Multi-port 10GbE switch platforms
• High-performance server networking
• Data center infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'B1-A' against official Aquantia or Marvell documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics, as suffixes often denote specific packaging or temperature grades. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts and firmware drivers before procurement. Cross-reference with distributor datasheets to confirm current availability status and lead times.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-port solution is required for 10GBASE-T applications. Compare power-per-port metrics against single-port alternatives like the AQ1103 if density is not the primary constraint. Verify that the host system supports the necessary PCIe interface and provides adequate thermal management for the FCBGA package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AQC107 family of Ethernet controllers from Aquantia, now part of Marvell. The family includes variants such as the AQ1401 (quad-port), AQ1202 (dual-port), and AQ1103 (single-port). These devices share a common design philosophy focused on achieving high throughput with reduced power consumption using advanced silicon processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the AQ1401 for identical quad-port functionality. For dual-port requirements, the AQ1202 may be considered if pin compatibility allows. Single-port designs can utilize the AQ1103, though this requires board redesign. Always verify mechanical footprint and electrical specifications before substitution.
